1. "Fiddler on the Roof" (1971): Best scoring adaptation and original song score.

2. "Jaws" (1975): Best original dramatic scoring.

3. "Star Wars" (1977): Best original score.

4. "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982): Best original score.

5. "Schindler's List" (1993): Best original score.

Williams' first movie score was for "Daddy-O" in 1958. His most recent was for "Lincoln" last year.
